Community Support Appreciated

Dear Editor,

The Braysville Extension Homemakers would like to thank the community for its support by collecting items for Indiana soldiers who are fighting overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. We collected three boxes full of items in September to package and send to those who we sometimes forget about. The items collected ranged from toiletries to snacks. We have it pretty easy being that we can go to the local store to pick up items without any hassle. There is a shortage of basic items needed overseas in our military bases. The items donated will help make some soldier remember that they are cared for, missed, and hopefully make their day a little bit better.

The Indiana Extension Homemakers will be collecting items for the men and women who make up our armed forces in the Middle East all throughout 2009-2010. If you would like to help contribute, contact a member of the Owen County Homemakers, or drop off any item at the Purdue Extension Office, located on Washington Street in Spencer. Below is the list of items that were collected during the 2009 Apple Butter Festival:
